Ads. I am so fucking sick of ads. I have ad blockers on many things and my next network project will be adding a pihole to my network for network ad block. Sick of it.
You sound like me haha. Is there a good Lemmy site to replace r/AdBlock? We need to get like minded people together to form an underground resistance against the ads.
I also wish more specialized communities existed. The trouble is, I lack the willpower to moderate them and the discipline to find things to post regularly to get them going. :/
My husband has set up a pihole and it’s the best ever. It used to run off an actual raspberry pi but now we have a home server and he got it set up on there. Literally yesterday he also added Tailscale to our computers and phones and it seriously rocks my socks. I don’t even exactly know what it does but suddenly I’m not getting any ads while at my in-laws house on their WiFi so, score! I am not tech savvy enough to know about these things, much less set them up myself, but I am super thankful that my husband aggressively hates ads and I get to benefit from his crusade against them.
Tailscale is a virtual private network (VPN). It connects everything together that is connected to it as though they are all in the same place. You might be physically at your in-laws house but your device is communicating with a private network over your in-laws’ network.
Large corporate offices often run VPNs in a similar way, anyone with a work-from-home laptop or phone generally has to log into a VPN to get internet/network access.
I have an executive function disorder, ads literally prey on my disability even as society laughs at the idea of attention being something other than a product of pure limitless willpower.
Normal is crazy, so it could be either. My shock when 🏴☠️ I realized that TV show episodes (not streaming) are generally 22 minutes for a half-hour slot - almost a third of TV is ads.

Whoa, that’s insane. I didn’t think VPNs worked like that.

It’s getting crazy. Or I’m just becoming more aware of them.
